Hog roast hire for your event in Burpham
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For birthdays and anniversaries and summer garden parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and salads for your guests.
A place like Burpham frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Burpham questions
Could you cook in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Burpham?
The closest is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
We cover Surrey and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Light matters for a long roast: around Burpham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
